"We are at the ICE Detention Center in Elizabeth, NJ. where ICE is denying us entry to meet with fathers separated from their families. They’re now covering the windows with paper so we can't see in. This is not America."

People are running for their lives, fleeing the carnage in Central America. They will continue to flee. They should not run into a buzz saw at our border that destroys families and scars children. USA’s solution can’t be to try to become a worse, less humane place than Columbia!!

The lies. The dictator adoration. The bigotry. The lawlessness. The indecency. The corruption. The forced separation of families and the caging of children. This is Trumpism and it is evil. It’s destructive to people, to the Republican Party and, most importantly, to our country.

Claiming illegal immigrants will "infest" America, language used about vermin, not humans, and claiming it's your political opponents' plan to make this happen. Hard not to hear the echoes of history now.

“Infest,” “animals,” “changes their culture.” A parade of dehumanizing and nativist language.

Words exist in a certain context. Insects infest things, not people. Animals are kept in cages, not people. And yet Trump is using these words about people.

You can argue, like Trump does, that he’s only referring to criminals. But does that make them subhuman? And he’s using the threat of crime to target an entire class of people, not just people convicted or accused of heinous acts.

“The Council for National Policy (CNP), is an umbrella organization and networking group for social [anti-abortion, anti-gay] conservative activists in the United States. … Nation magazine has called it a secretive organization that ‘networks wealthy right-wing donors together with top conservative operatives to plan long-term movement strategy.’” http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/council-for-national-policy/

3. The New York Times has called the CNP “a little known club of a few hundred of the most powerful conservatives in the country…”
